Glycine

Glycine has several functions and health benefits. Glycine possesses natural antacid and sweetener properties and is involved in the making of DNA, phospholipids and collagen. Glycine also improves the storage of glycogen (carbohydrates stored in the liver and blood stream) thereby enhancing the process of energy production. Glycine is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, especially in the spinal cord, brainstem, and retina. Glycine is however not essential to the human diet, as it is biosynthesized in the body from the amino acid serine.
